Right, I'll reintroduce myself again

[gamekeeper]

Hi Folks,
I hunt, shoot, repair cars & quads & I also make leather goods in the traditional way - no machines.

Edited by Tony because it's asking for trouble

Thanks for looking.

Hi Gamekeeper, pull up a log and join the fun.

Hi Gamekeeper - welcome to the site

I think I`ve stumbled across your stuff before when I was looking at rifle slings.

I might be giving you a shout for a leather Silva compass case.

No problem, you'll have to send me the sizes, there's that many Silva compass' these days.

Many thanks

Dave

No, I'm not letting that lie.

You were asked courteously to read the rules on advertising, on reciprocal links, on self promotion.

That was it.

You chose not to even respond and now take it ill out when your post was removed.

Why ought you be somehow exempt from the same guidelines that other craftsfolk adhere to ?

Reintroduce yourself again? So this is the third time?

I don't understand how brand new, non contributing, members can post direct commercial links, how come I have to pay to sell my craftwork?
I've pm'd tony as this has really rattled my cage. sorry

I dont get this,
Toddy & I have have cleared this up.

I'm currently looking for the button or image in order for me to put a link on my site for BushcraftUK.

Additionally I'm not selling my items openly, Shewie was merely stating that he had stumbled across my items before.

I have no plans to sell on here, I prefer the bartering system & if I can help anyone out I will but if this is not the way then I will retract it.

Rancid Badger please contact Toddy before jumping on a band-wagon as you may fall off!!!

Reciprocal link shall be posted on my site by this time tomorrow.

All the best Bushcrafters.

 

[rancid badger]

No bandwagon involved, just a bit of confusion really.
I had no idea that links of this sort were allowed for non contributing members
I should have looked at the relevant info properly
If it's allowed, so be it.

There's no reason not to sell your stuff on here, I don't think there is a minimum post thing involved as far as registering as a maker but I could be wrong, I quite often am.
I also quite like bartering and will also help where I can.

I'm more than happy to welcome you to the site by the way, I should have said this initially but got distracted as I went along, ( maybe did fall of the wagon:bluThinki )
As I say, welcome and the best of luck
R.B.

 

[gamekeeper]

No worries mate, been stressful here too!!

Reciprocal link has been added to my site & hopefully a good enough write up for it.

I prefer bartering, even on one of the stalls I run - people generally see no prices on my stuff & are too scared to ask.

I learnt to barter in the gold markets in sandier climes!!!

All the best

Dave

There are lots of ways of selling and your highlighting of

Don't ask about the leather 'cos I'm clearly not allowed to tell you.

is rather provocative.

The rules here are simple and they have worked for a long time to keep things the way most of us want them.

Trying to maneuver your way around them, particularly at this early stage, is just going to annoy the mods and lead you to a ban.

Stick around and people will find out what you are about without needing to be told every second post.

Don't play by the rules and there won't be a second post.

That's how things work around here.

Welcome Gamekeeper!
You got yourself noticed! that's good
Welcome to the forum, we are a nice bunch (really), despite the large numbers - we are a fairly close family and a good place to be.
I looked at your site, some good stuff there, welcome aboard, we look forward to your future contributions

 

[woodstock]

Clearly a useful man to know welcome I take it your not a certified gamekeeper as well

 

[gamekeeper]

Hi,
afraid not Woodstock, my recent back injury negates that. Although I do regularly shoot & try to "maintain" the rabbit population.

Mind you, shooting pheasant has never really been my thing.

All the best

Dave.

P.S. Thank you all for the compliments.

Gary, you are not a mod or even a maker so I cant see why you need to get involved . Fair enough in the other thread you pointed out that it would be better for Gamekeeper to reintroduce himself before trading after a lapse in posting - friendly advice from an established member. But to get your longboat oar in by posting a hour and a half later after a moderator has already reprimanded this fella seems to be exactly the sort of 'flaming' that you are continually bringing other members on here up on.

Hello and welcome. pull up a log.

Ok, People are allowed to have a link to their sites as long as they have a reciprocal link to bushcraft uk. I am considering some changes to this but at the moment that’s how it is. They cannot sell on the forums or promote their products. To do this they would have to be a maker, whom can post up articles for sale directly to the members.

At present there are no commercial sales and any business would be classed as such and is not allowed to sell on bushcraft uk.

So, rancid badger – you can make things and sell them on the site, you can also have a link in your sig (as can most people) only makers can do this. Anyone else promoting their products for sale will be warned and then if needed booted off the site.
I think the rules state that a quick mention of what people offer is expectable once only as an intro. This shouldn’t be drawn out though and anyone that does draw it out will have it removed and be reminded of the rules etc.

Hope that explains it.

I think this would have been better by PM. No need to publicly start a slanging match. I read it as friendly advice, and I'd hope it was taken that way. Let's not argue about trivia, eh folks?

Well i go away for the weekend and miss all the action.

Yes indeed, all fair enough Tony.
No more Mr. Twisty from me
